yo! anyone experienced with CorelDRAW (the most evil program in existence)?
i am doing something ive never done before. i have designed an ATM wrap and am now exporting it at 25% size. this is no biggy, but when i export as eps, it expands my gradients and chops everything up into hundreds of little shapes.
i think i will try to export as AI and then from AI to eps. but if anyone knows something that could be useful to me, then i would appreciate any ideas!
iva had this happen before with people sending me expanded files and i can usually fix them, but i doubt the printer will appreciate having to do the same. bleh.

what are you printing the pieces on? Gerber? Why are you trying to export it? i mean, what is the purpose for you to take these steps? I know a little about Corel, also doing some signage a couple of years ago...

final piece will be printed on 3M vinyl for application.
normally we would print it from here, but the sales people decided that it should be printed on that material and we cant print on 3M.
so the printshop wants it in eps.
i think i might be having some luck now, but im not completely sure yet. gotta check and recheck before i burn this.

but... if you have to use corel.. why you need to export it in eps???
